"So you're saying that we have a spy within our group?." They were back at the Manor, and Draco had told them his conclusion. Every single person of their family and friends were present. Weasley family, Malfoys, Harry, Sirius, Andromeda, Theo, Blaise, Astoria, Pansy, along with Lavender. Blaise had asked this question, to which Draco nodded. "And Charles Rodriguez was been tortured before the attacks, but he died last month?." Lucius Malfoy asked. Again nodding at the statement, Draco looked at them, and said, "I miss Estella. We needed her this time like literally." "What?." Sirius asked him. "Hmm. Nothing. I just....miss her." "I don't know what is going to happen next, but I hope we catch that spy as soon as possible." Harry said in a low voice. Hermione and Estella's abduction had taken a toll on him as well as on Draco. Both supported dark circles under their eyes and they were constantly working, not much sleep was also making impact on their health. "Draco, Harry. Come and drink tea. It will be good for you." Narcissa told them both in soothing voice, they couldn't deny it. She carefully poured them a cup each and made them drink it. As they took their first sip, they both looked up at each other, but Draco asked, "What is this?." "Jasmine tea." Narcissa replied gently. "Why does it taste different." Draco asked suspiciously. "Really? Let me taste." But before she can take a sip out of the cup she poured herself, both the boys slumped into darkness. "Finally!." The mother's exclaimed in relief. The men looked at them in amusement. Carefully Lucius and Sirius still with amusement on their faces, levitated both boys to their room to put them in their beds. "Clever as ever, Cissa." Lucius said, "A true Slytherin move." Sirius added.

Draco woke up in the room which he didn't recognise. Furrowing his eyebrows, he carefully lifted himself and went outside the room. He came across a beach. Confused about the location, he went further ahead and saw a figure standing on some distance near the sea. "Draco." A voice called him. He knew this voice. He picked up the pace to the figure, and came face to face with Estella. "Esty." He said but she just smiled. He started to reach out for her, but she was not in reach of him. "Draco. I believe in you." Confused at this statement, he took a step forward but she still was not in reach. "Esty. Are you mad at me?." Voice laced with emotions, he was on the brink of crying. "I'm not sure what you're asking me Love. I will always be with you. No matter what."

The urge to touch her, the urge to take her in his arms, the urge to never let go, vanished after that statement of hers'. He understood that this is either hallucination or a dream. But he didn't lost hope. "I'll come Esty. I love you. I will find you. I promise." He said with determination. She again smiled at him and said, "Then start from where it all began. I'll be waiting for you. I love you." And she vanished into the air. "Esty!."


Draco woke up crying for Estella. He was sweating, miserably. His thoughts were everywhere. He couldn't understand the world around him. He frantically started searching for his wand. After finding the wand at the bedside table, everything came back to his mind. Charles Rodriguez, spy in the group, tea and then blackout. Most importantly, his dream. Thinking about what Estella said. 'Then start from where it all began.' He was confused. This statement was on loop in his mind when he emerged from the door of living room. Not noticing that Harry who had a furious look on his face and was angry with the occupants of the room. Everyone looked at him, expecting his outburst but that never came, as he went to the direction of the foyer, and out to the garden. Everyone looked at each other, and then back to Harry. Harry rolled his eyes and went after Draco. Draco was looking at the horizon, a small smile on his face. "Mate." Harry said making his presence known. Draco looked at him and then back at the horizon. "I saw Esty, in my dream." He started, and then with a sigh, ran a hand on his face. "What did she said?." Harry asked carefully. "To start from the place where it all began." Harry had his hand on Draco's shoulder. Realisation hit them both, as Harry squeezed his hand on his shoulder, and they looked at each other. Only one thing on their mind. "Rosier Manor." "But Harry. No one should know about this. We have a spy in our group remember." Draco said to which Harry nodded. Finally a lead.
